30 Weeks!

How big is Caitlin?
Caitlin has now grown to be 14 ¾ inches long and weighs about 3 pounds.

What is happening with Caitlin?
As Caitlin continues to grow, she takes up a larger portion of my uterus. Her eyes are becoming more mature, and now she can tell the difference between light and dark. Babies at 30 weeks can even follow a light source with their eyes. Once Caitlin is born, she will spend a great deal of time with her eyes closed. This is completely normal. Newborns only have the ability to focus on objects a few inches from their face. While “normal” adult vision is 20/20, a newborn’s vision is 20/400.
